1 answer:

4 0

PBecause once upon a time.........it was the POPE who controlled a large swath of power......like a KING, which included large territories. But over the years, and power shifts later........the Pope became less and less important, and more or less became boxed in, within Vatican City.......his last seat of Power. When Italy became a Unified Country..............they had to arrange a special deal with the POPE that left him in charge of his little area........a King, of sorts, within the Kings Kingdom. So they declared his little Popedom.......seperate , and allowed him to keep his little seat of Power.

Bingel [31]

The correct option is "the national currency was too weak"

While the Southerners resigned their seats in the Senate and the House of Representatives, secession allowed the Republicans to approve proposals that had been blocked by the Southern senators before the war. Among these laws that were approved highlighted the Morrill Act, through which the important iron industry was protected; the Homestead Act, according to which all free citizens who applied for 160 acres of land not yet worked from the territories outside the Thirteen Colonies would be granted; the construction of a transcontinental railroad; the National Banking Act, with which the use of the national currency was developed and the Law of Legal Course of 1862, which authorized the use of bank notes. Fees on income to finance the war were also approved with the Tax Act.

What is geograhic features isolated ancient china from other civiliztions

Gwar [14]

Geographic features that isolated Ancient China were the Himalayas, Takla Makan, and the Gobi Desert.

Explanation:

Ancient China was one of the most developed civilizations in the world, and in numerous periods it was far ahead than any other civilization. Unlike the other civilizations though, which were in constant contact with each other and exchanging knowledge and technology, China was not like that, which makes its development even more impressive.

China was actually isolated, both from the geographical features and because of its own policies. The geography played a very big role, and it was what helped the isolationist policy. The major geographic features that were isolating Ancient China were:

Himalayan Mountain Range (the biggest and highest in the world)
Takla Makan (very harsh, vast desert)
Gobi Desert (massive, rocky, cold desert)
